Make Your Gifted Life Meaningful
"This book will make a smart person even smarter." ―Dr. Katharine
Brooks, You Majored in What? Mapping Your Path from Chaos to
Career
#1 Bestseller in Counseling & Psychology, Attention-Deficit Disorder,
and Mood Disorders
Overcome your unique challenges. The challenges smart and creative
people encounter―from scientific researchers and genius award winners to
bestselling novelists, Broadway actors, high-powered attorneys, and
academics―often include anxiety, overthinking, mania, sadness, and
despair. In Why Smart People Hurt, psychology specialist and
creativity coach Dr. Eric Maisel draws on his many years of work with
the best and the brightest to pinpoint these often devastating
challenges and offer solutions based on the groundbreaking principles
and practices of natural psychology.
Find meaningful success. Do you understand what meaning is, what it
isn't, and how to create it? Do you know how to organize your day around
meaning investments and meaning opportunities? Are you still searching
for meaning after all these years? Many smart people struggle with
reaching for or maintaining success because, after all of the work they
put into attaining it, it still seems meaningless. In Why Smart people
Hurt, Dr. Maisel teaches you how to stop searching for meaning and
create it for yourself.
In Why Smart People Hurt, you will find:
- You are not alone in your struggles with living in a world that wasn't
built for you or your intelligence
- Logic- and creativity-based strategies to cope with having a brain
that goes into overdrive at the drop of a hat
- Questions that help you create your own personal roadmap to a calm and
meaningful life
Readers of true, natural self-help books for gifted people struggling
with life, anxiety, and depression, like Living With Intensity,
Misdiagnosis and Dual Diagnoses of Gifted Children and Adults, or
Your Rainforest Mind, will learn how to create meaning in their lives
with Why Smart People Hurt.
